I'm gonna leave the same way I cameUp from the ashes, then I'm from the ashesIf our house had stood here on this wood foundationThen you, you could've fooled meI admit I was a fool for your southern days(One hundred and fifty degrees in the shade)It wasn't an option to go back to my place(No, I was put in my place)And you...

We lived in separate housesWe have for all our livesIt would've been nice to say(It would've been nice to say)Sure would've been nice to say I knew youWhen, oh, when will this sinking feelingFeel like, "Man, that was ages ago?"

I don't worry half as much as I didWhen I was an experiment, your resident tourniquetLife's not about your neckWait, just what is it?I am the mantle, and you're a paintingCome rest your frame on me(Come rest your frame on me)I was a tower, and you were an airplaneWe happened before we knew what was happening

We lived in separate housesWe have for all our livesIt would've been nice to say(It would've been nice to say)Sure would've been nice to say... When, oh, when will this sinking feelingFeel like, "Man, that was ages ago?"When, oh, when will this sinking feelingFeel like, "Man, that was ages ago?"

"Man, that was ages ago...""Man, that was ages ago..."

("Man, that was ages ago...")We lived inside each otherSuch careless, lazy lovers("Man, that was ages ago...")Would've been nice to saySure would've been nice to say

When, oh, when will this sinking feelingFeel like, "Man, that was ages ago?"When, oh, when will this sinking feelingFeel like, "Man, that was ages ago?"
